BigCommerce

This guide describes how to integrate Resolve into your BigCommerce e-commerce platform so that you can provide Net Terms as a payment option to your customers.

Overview

After integrating Resolve, your BigCommerce shop will:

  • Offer Net Terms as a payment option on the checkout page

    • This payment option also surfaces a link to your buyer application

  • Process Resolve payments in your order management system

The integration steps are:

Instructions

Before you begin

Before beginning integration, you should review the following:

Install the extensions and follow the steps in 5. Test your integration before going live. The integration will not operate with Resolve sandbox accounts.

1. Retrieve keys

Your Merchant ID and Secret Key are available in your merchant dashboard. Just go to the Settings tab then choose "Integrations" from the sub-tabs. Your Merchant ID and Secret Key are under the "Direct API" section. Be sure you're logged into your production dashboard to retrieve these credentials. The Resolve BigCommerce integration will not connect to Resolve sandbox.

2. Install the extension for BigCommerce

  1. Install the Resolve for BigCommerce app via the BigCommerce app store.

You'll need to link your BigCommerce shop to your Resolve account, from within your BigCommerce dashboard.

  1. Navigate to the Resolve Pay app settings and enter your Merchant ID and Secret Key.

  2. Click 'Link merchant account'.

4. Make changes to your BigCommerce store

You'll need to make two changes to your store's BigCommerce store settings: (a) Update Checkout settings and (b) Update Payment settings (enable 'cash on delivery').

Resolve's checkout script will override the 'cash on delivery' method to enable payments with Resolve.

a. (Optional) Select B2B Edition compatibility toggle

If you are installing the extension on a BigCommerce B2B Edition store, then select the "Enable B2B Edition compatibility" toggle. If you are not using B2B Edition, ensure that the toggle is not selected.

b. Update Checkout settings

Selecting the "Update Checkout Settings" button will override a custom checkout script that is applied to your store. If you're using an existing custom checkout, please reach out to your Resolve Account Manager for assistance.

To verify that you are not using a custom checkout, ensure that the "Checkout type" is the Optimized One-Page Checkout in your BigCommerce Checkout Settings (Settings > Checkout).

Click on "Update Checkout settings". Be aware that this action will instantly update your BigCommerce Checkout settings to use our approved checkout script.

To verify that your Checkout settings have been successfully updated, click on "Go to Checkout settings". You will be redirected to your Checkout Settings page.

Verify that 'Checkout type' has been updated to 'Custom Checkout'.

And now scroll down and verify that 'Custom checkout' section has been updated with the Resolve's

BigCommerce Standard - https://bc.resolvepay.com/auto-loader.js

BigCommerce B2B Edition - https://bcb2b.resolvepay.com/auto-loader-1.0.0.js

and verify that both boxes below the text box are selected.

c. Update Payment settings (enable 'cash on delivery')

Click on "Go to Payment settings" or navigate to your store's Settings > Payments menu.

Scroll down to the 'Additional providers' section and open the 'Offline Payment Methods' section. Enable 'Cash on Delivery'.

Refresh the page and scroll back to the top. Click the 'Cash on Delivery settings' tab to update how this payment method displays to your buyers. We recommend the settings below. Change the Display Name to 'Pay with terms' and update Delivery Information to convey next steps to buyers that complete a checkout with this method.

5. Test your integration

Connect with your Resolve Account Manager to access a test buyer (ie. test buyer credentials) associated with your merchant account.

If you enabled the "Test mode" toggle in the extension's settings, please be aware of the following changes:

  • Invoices will be created in "test mode" and will not trigger any money movements in Resolve.

  • Invoices will not be sent to the customer, and will only be visible from your dashboard.

  • Test invoices will be denoted with a "Test mode" indicator when selecting an invoice from your Resolve dashboard.

  1. (Optional) Enable the "Test mode" toggle in the extension's settings.

  2. Add items to your cart and proceed to checkout.

  3. Select 'Pay with Net Terms' as the payment option.

  4. Proceed to checkout and use the test buyer credentials to login to Resolve and confirm an order.

  5. Verify that you land on the order confirmation page and that your order has been created in BigCommerce.

  6. View your order within the Resolve dashboard.

  7. Capture your order in BigCommerce if desired. See Processing transactions (BigCommerce) for more.

Test buyers will be configured for a 0% advance, so they will not trigger money movements in Resolve - even if you choose to capture or refund the order from within BigCommerce.

6. Go live with Resolve

If you've enabled "test mode" in the extension settings, ensure this is disabled prior to going live.

Let your buyers know about your new 'Pay with net terms' option and educate them on Resolve Pay. You're ready to go!
